This wiki contains ideas to help you develop numeracy in your lessons and across the school. Some of the ideas presented are taken from some excellent numeracy across the curriculum documents produced by Deptford Green School, the Friary School, Leicestershire Numeracy team, All Saints CCFL School, and the Kent Advisory Service (curriculum support in mathematics) amongst others. Please take the time to visit the Resources page to take a look at these documents and the associated weblinks in the Useful Links page (2 really useful ones are the Maths Zone and Suffolk Maths and a good blog post from @numberloving here). Other ideas are developed by teachers/educators who have contributed directly or indirectly to this wiki.
